There is a lot more wheels that are real nice then just bullits in 5 lug.

I am in Oviedo, just outside orlando, I am about 20 minutes from the UCF area. I actually live in Black Hammock which is still oviedo but closer to Geneva. Good to know local people though, I'm always willing to lend a hand.

Didn't read the thread very thorough so if you don't need this then just look over it, haha. If you haven't bought spindles yet, maybe this will help you "know" what you're looking at when you go to buy.



-Edit-
Fixed it for ya.

My only gripe with the ranger axles and the 17" Bullitts are how they sit in the wheel well... They tuck way under and to me that looks terrible. We have two fox's with these axles, and with any of the SN-95 offset wheels they have this tucked appearance. If you plan to run a 10 or 10.5 wheel out back, do the ranger stuff, if you plan to run a stock sized wheel, run the SN axles...

IMO

This. I put SN95 axles on mine and it brings the face of the rim out to be more flush. It looks great! They're cheap too, plus you can get rear disc brakes. The the bit of extra money involved, it's worth doing for the extra brake you get. Plus you'll never have to go through the project again and redo all the work because you decide to upgrade from drums to discs.

ive had my swap on for a while now and i like it for what it is. ranger axles/drums, 95 spindles calipers, rotors, pads, hoses and the weatherhead fitting. usinga stock booster and mc and im driving it fine, the pedal feel is softer than stock but its not toooo soft.

needless to say however im bored with it and have 03 cobra brakes, nrc brackets, and parking brake cables in my floor, waiting on mc, rotors, lines, habba jabba yadda cadoo, oh the money spending never ceases

17x8 SN95 wheels fit fine. It's what I have. Search my name and you'll find plenty of pics of them on my car with the M2300K setup
